IIRC I read something recently on making your own remote for one of
those. The most expensive was $20, the cheapest was $5 using an old
Amiga joystick. Will see if I can hunt the link up.

I have a cable remote already, this one seems to be a wireless thingy

If I was lucky enough to own a 40 inch dobsonian then I'd be really
tempted to leave it... errr... here! [1]

My current project is a 12 inch truss dobsonian which will collapse down
into easily transportable pieces.

I'm not seriously into amateur astronomy, I just enjoy casual observing
(hence the dobs). I did try computer guided SCT's for a while but
decided not for me.



G-S

[1] along with the step ladder it'd need!
